J , page two TELE SALT LAKE TPJTJjtfE, Thursday morning, ooto3br 2oi90lt B
,j via Peking, Oct. 19. The fighting,
r which lulled for a time on October 15,
' was renewed on October 16, when the
j, Russians holding positions on the north
bank of the Shakhe river continually
' f exchanged an artillery fire with the
j; Japanese.
Desperato Fighting.
The hardest fbjhtlng was in the con
j ter, where two regiments of Russian
I infantry made a desperate- attack on
,1 the nlirht of October 16, capturing- two
Japanese batteries of eight guna each,
j It was an expensive undertaking, how-
j over, as the Russians lost a great many
men. The Colonel commanding wan
, dangerously wounded. The Jnpanese
were compelled to destroy their ammu
,:i nltlon.
j,' The fighting all that night was most
I severe, both sides suffering heavily,
Ji During the progress of the Infantry
1 fight the artillery kept up a bombard-
i nicnt.
j' Shelled With Shrapnel.
J1 On the morning of October 17 the
i I Russian center held positions twelve
miles south of Mukden on the main
: wairon r6ad. while the left had fallen
farther back to the northeast Just
before noon the Japanese guns found
j. the main road and a village, shelling
them with shrapnel and shimosc pow-
1 der contact shells, but without doing
I any ureal aamnge.
J 1 Night Attacks Made.
I Toward evening the battle lulled, but
i ! during the night the Russian center
jSade two combined lnfantrv and ar
tillery attacks, which resulted In the
gfecurlng of new positions about half a
mile In advance. These attacks were
made during" a downpour of rain and
-were successful In giving the Russians
poMesslon of a small stretch of the
around over which, they retired last
Veek.
A Removing the "Wounded.
Today a long line of wounded Is be
ing taken to the hospitals at Mukden
1 ' through a cold and drizzling rain and
, over a road which Is covered with mud
i JSe deep
- The Japanese today confined them
selves to throwing occasional volleyn of
hrapnel at the Russian batteries,
Tvhlch kept up a continual bombard
, ment.
While the battle still continues, It Is
a small affair compared with that of
last week. The fighting now Is entirely
on the plain.
The Japaneso apparently are satis
fled with having stopped the Russian
advance and with having brought their
own line to the Shakhe river.
I SILENT AT FRONT.
Tokio Has No Advices Fro'm tho
Field.
TOKIO, Oct. 10. No reports from the
Japanese Manchurlan headquarters
were received either last night or to
day, and as a consequence It Is as
sumed here that Inactivity has followed
the abortive Russian assaults of Mon
day nlghU
The Russian concentration In front of
the armies of Gens, Oku and Nodzu
,, (the left and center respectively) on
Monday reported by Field Marshal
Oyama, created the Impression here
that the Russians were planning to as
sume tho aggressive, and that another
great battle was Imminent, but St Is
now thought that Gen. Kuropatkln Is
merely seeking to protect his right and
rear In .order to gain time to withdraw
Jus army across the Hun river, because
It Is believed that It will be Impossible
for him either to move aggressively
against the Japanese or to hold his po
sition on the Shakhe river.
Figures showing the Japanese losses
since October 10 are still incomplete, a3
i 1 Is the count of tho guna and other Rus
sian property captured by the Japan
ese. Figures showing the losses to the
1 Russians are likewise Incomplete.
' There Is a popular Impression here
that a,ffalrs at Port Arthur are rcach
' ; lng a crisis, and It Is believed that the
i end Is only a question of days.

CHICAGO. Oct. 10. Through an official
i bulletin Issued from tho Health depart-
ment of this city today, club men and wo
men generally have received a shock, and
thero Is auch a consultation going on with
t doctors as was never seen here.
, , Statistics show that 6 per cent of
the residents of Chicago and other
large cities are suffering from
Bright's disease;
Mf inai ii is rar more general among mem-
1 bors of both men's and women's clubs and

a stop must be put to the raoid pace, or

those who have the slightest symptoms

Employees of Church
Mine Discharged.
Circumstances Support Con
tention of Rflen Who Lost
Places in Bullion-Beck.
Had Not Been Complained Against
Until They Identified Themselves
Wlth-Amorican Party.
Toe E. O'Brien, who. with Henry Enrle,
was discharged as an employoo of the Bullion-Beck
mine following the announce
ment that they were members of the
American party, has directed an open let
ter to P. J. Farnsworth of this city, who
Is the president and general manager of
the company.
It will be remembered that Mr. Farn
worth declared that tho men wcro dis
charged because they had not rendered
satisfactory service, and not for political
reasons.
President Joseph F. Smith Is vice-president
of tho mining company and the
Bullion-Beck Is generally understood as
the ' church mine."
Inquiry Into tho situation reveals the
fact that no complaint hud been made
against Earle. or ,0'Brien by their Immedi
ate superiors, and that the discharge was
ordered by telegram from this end of the
Inc. Earlo Is rated as one of the most
mm sinous young men In Utah as a mlno
workman. His father Is superintendent of
the mine. It was a common remark that
he worked much harder and was possibly
more faithful than would otherwise havo
been the case had he not his father's In
rt.rjss at heart, as well as his employers'.
O Brlen, too, was rated a verv competent
man No complaint was made against
either until the American partv organiza
tion was effected at Eureka, when Farns
worth, who has small knowledge of tho
actual capacity of the employees, was
communicated with and telephoned that
tho men be discharged "on the spot."
A part of O'Brien's letter, which Earle
says Is a fair statement, except that It
makes him more prominent than he would
desire, follows. After enumerating the
work ho and Earle were accustomed to
do. he says:
"Still you claim religion and politics
does not cut any llgure with tho employ
ment of men in tho Bullion-Beck mine.
But your foreman. A. S. Anderson, says
different. Ho told a prominent Republi
can business man hero In Eureka that
both Earle and O'Brien were discharged
by you for being members of the Ameri
can party, and he ought to know. He
further says that both Earle and O'Brien
wcro each doing two men'ii work and he
says that the company will havo to got
four men to replace them, and he knows
what ho says Is true. Of course It's true,
and Mr Anderson, who Is Furnsworth's
confidential man. knows a whole lot more
Ho knows who wrote tho letter into Salt
Lake regarding the American party (and
so do I). He knows that every trip he
makes through the mine among the leas
erti he Is boosting for Smoot and Cutler,
but that is all right He knows that
President Joseph F. Smith and Brother
Farnsworth arc behind him and will pro
tect him.
' Now. If air. Anderson, who is a resi
dent of Idaho, can go around and work
among the leasers In behalf of Smoot and
Brother Cutler, why should not Earle and
my3elf help organize an Amcrlcun club?
I dislike to tako up suace in replying
to Mr, Farnsworth. .1 could fill a Tribune
DflCe With sworn fllnldmnnlc nf mr.)n...n
whom I worked for that can nail that
'statement' of Brother P. T., but it's not
necessary. He knows what he sent that
'on the spot' messase for, but he cannot
come out openly and say bo
"In conclusion let mo ask If It was
necessary for Phllo T. Farnsworth to tel
ephone the superintendent of the Bullion
Beck mine to discharge two men 'on tho
npof for neglect of duty when every day
letters from Secretary Morris reach hero
and tho sup';ntendent could have been
notified In that manner. Their connection
with the American party was the only
reason why they woro discharged, anil
when Mr. Anderson, the confidential fore
man, let the cat out of the bag, he did
his work well and thought that would end
the matter, but ho was mistaken. Mr
Anderson spoke the truth. He said he
ought to know, nnd certainly docs. Ac
cording to his statement Mr. Farnsworth's
denial in The Tribune Is untrue. Let tho
public Judge which of them misstated the
facts "

There will be a vigorous search for the

Many havo asked who is tho author

editor of Todwin's Is tho man.

thus:

One' of tho best ways for Republicans

If elected he will be as clay in tho pot

Strictly Confidential. -
MORMONTON, Utah, Oct. IS. Dear
Brother Penrose (Apostle and Editor of
tho Deaeret News): Well, you arc doing
things. Won't you ever absorb any
sense? It ecems to mo that a man with
three wives ought to know something.
Mere association ought to set tho wheels
going In your skull and churn out a few
brain throbs.
Why should I, a good Mormon bishop,
go around lying nnd denying church In
fluence, when you Inject knockout drops
Into all my missionary efforts by one
fell swoop of your editorial pen? It's your
busino-c? to steady tho ark and keep the
animals from gutting mixed.
Hero am I parading around over tho
State counseling Mormon Democrats how
to vote for Cutler and dropping a hint
that if they don't vote that way they
will be thrown out of the church by the
scruff of tho neck and then you go and
lironl." In with vnnr r11 llo.,l oo if vnn
had no acceas to the illimitable fountain
of truth. What do the revelations of
Joseph say In the times that try men's
souls llko these? Thc say don't talk,
don't shoot off your mouth.
Actually Printed the Facts.
We modem men of God ought to know
that. Tou don't seem to get any straight
tips from tho temple any moro. If you
do. why don't you print in your delectable
News, right in tho editorial columns, that
' church lnflucnco has no terrors for the
sonslblo citizen, except for the mlschlct
It Is working to the Democratic party in
splitting It open wider and deeper?"
Ghosts of Abraham, Isaao and Jacob!
That's what we want to keep quiet and
deny That's what I've been lying ubont.
Here I vc been mingling with the Saints
of Zlon and enjoying the inspiration felt
only by the genuine, copyrighted people
of God, and then on top of that you go
and print that church influence Is split
ting the Mormon Democrats wide open.
You don't seem to have any more senso
than Brother Bill Glnsmann or Brother
Bill Spry. If you could go out and soak
your head until after tho campaign, it
would be a good thing, but I don't sup
pose any pawnbroker would let you have
anything on 'IL
Terrors for Sensible Citizens.
Why, of course, "church Influence has
terrors for the sensible citizen." That's
tho only kind of citizen that It docs have
any terrors for. That's why they organ
ized the American party. Senslblo citi
zens know enough to bolt. Tho poor
dubs who nin't in on the graft, who pay
taxes and then 10 per cent In tithes on
top of that, don't have sense enough to
get under nn awning when the skies
weep. There Is no terror in anything
for them except getting bounced from
tho church for cultivating discord in the
quorum.
Now wasn't that a nlco jolt to the pol
icies of the servants of God when you
say lhat church Influence is "splitting
open the Mormon Democratic partv wider
and deeper?" That's what we havo been
trying to hldo from the Mormon Demo
crats. But VOII nnrl Hrnthoi- Cn,.
out everything you know. Wo had Judge
Powers and Judge King fooled clear
down to tho solar plexus, and had some
hopes of pulling the wool over tho eyes
of Brother Moyje. until after we had
the Mormon Democratic vote cinched for
Cutler, but you go and butt In with your
talk of sensible citizens and apllttlng the
Mormon Democrats wldo open. D d If
't ain't enough to drive one of tho most
pious Saints of Zlon to profanity. But
there, no matter how much I feel like
swearing. I won't
Couldn't Hold in Any Longer.
However, this is not what I set out to
write to you But when ,1 read your
Deserted Spows I couldn't hold In any
longer. I felt to speak, hoping tho
Lord would enable me to define mv vlowa
with words satisfying to tho reason as
. well as to tho soul. Without getting eav

But I have other troubles bcs"iuc3 tiiesc
and as there is no policeman handy I teli
them to you. Brother Fussy sent for me
today. When I arrived In JSIon I v,
worn down to a frazzle with fright I
saw my chances of salvation slipping
away like weight on tho Iceman's scale
w.Pz 1 eot 10 tne meeting there was
Brothdr Smoot, Brother Cutler, Brother
Spry and Brother Fussy They looked as
solemn as lobstors after a Turkish bath
although It Is not up to mo to hint any
thing about lobsters in tho presenco of
such as theso who arc chosen of tho
Lord.
t r m' So,d m;3e,f' fln' I. somo of
irotner Smoot s schemes, fraught with
foxy cunning and heavenly wisdom, have
bumped up against harmony n tho
quorum, and probably there's a largo
cash payment to bn made to a famous
winter resort, and I have been selected
to open diplomatic negotiations with his
Satanic Majesty before a protocol has
been signed.
Brother Cutler Got an Idea.
But It wasn't as bad as I thought.
Brother Cutler had merely got a few
Ideas into hJs head calculated to breed
suspicion, coldness and distrust. He Invl
been out traveling over the State and
returned to Salt Lake convinced that If
the church didn't throw out Its grappling
hooks and haul In the Mormon vots ho
wouldn't stand any more chance of elec
tion than a cigarette has of getting into
heaven.
Naturally, Brother Smoot was agitated.
Brother, Spry was irritated and Brother
Fussy was exasperated. I was scared
yellow, with green trimmings. Tho three
brothers had tried to ahow Brother Cut
ler that he was off his base, and that
Brother Spry's good Intentions toward
Mormon Democrats would tclnch him for
the gubernatorial Job, and I had been
summoned to give "artistic verisimilitude
to their otherwise bold and unconvincing
stylo of oratory. Which I did. That's
one thing that I can do.
Brother Cutler Worried.
"But suppose I do get in," asked
Brother Cutler, with a plaintive sort of
a wail, 'how about my business? Here
I vo been sending out circulars telling mv
customers that I would glvo a guarantee
of church influence with every pair of
blankets, and my son John has been
doing things, too, then I como home and
find snow covering the mountain topH and
no demand for blankets. It never was
this way before. I wish I'd never taken
the Job to run for Gocrnor, Brother
Smoot. '
Then Brother Smoot, Brother Spry and
i
myself argued with him, but Brother Cut
ler can't appreciate a good argument.
"That's all right, for yo fellows who
ore In on tho church graft," hum
"but I've got to inako my living selling
blankets, and I ain't selling any to speak
of and I don't want to be Governor any
more."
"But don't you know you'll ocll moro
blankets than over before," said Brother
Smoot, consoling like.

"You'll get there, Brother Smootlcr. old

mixed on the name In his effort to cheer
up. Brother Cutler.
"Sure." said Brother Fussy. "Why,

haven't been Countv Commissioner for
nothing not to know that. Why. we'll or

"Arc you certain $10,000. worth9" said
Brother Cutler, bracing up and looking

"Sure," said Brother Fuasy. "Tho poor
havo to havo blankets."
"Rather," put In Brother Spry. "It
these pauper vote right, $10,000 worth of
blankets ain't any too good for them.
"Just think of all tho paupers, with a
pair of blankets for each pauper at $10 per
pair why, there's millions In it,"
"Besides, there's tho mental hospltnl at
Provo," snld Brother Smoot.
And the Mental Hospital.
"Sure." ald Brother Fussy, with his
usual elaboration and variety of language.
"Why. the Governor controls the contract
and you can fit out thorn lunatics with
I'lankpts to beat the land."
"But Isn t that against tho law?" anx
iously Inquired Brother Cutler
"Sure." said Brother Fussy, impressive
ly, "but what's the law between friends?"
"That's so," said Brother Spry. "Be
sides, who will control the law when you
aro elected Governor''"
No answer was required to this, but be
fore any ono could stop him Brother Cut
ler blurted out: "Why, Brother Smoot, of
coursu."
"Just so," said Brother Spry, and he
winked his other oye at Brother Cutler in
a very religious not to say Impudent way.
"Correct." said Brother Smoot. "Ain't
wo all Mormons?"
"Sure," said Brother Fussy.
"What do you think. Bishop Winker?"
arJcod Brother Cutler, turning to me. "I ,
guess It Is better to yield than to flee."
"Sure," said I, unconsciously quoting
Brother Fuhs's expressive diction. "A
d d sight that is to say. much better,"
So Brother Culler will stay.
Ah, Brother Penrose, take a lesson from
this and never lose faith in the Lord.
Brother Cutler's determination .to stay
proves that thero is dawning upon the
snowy hilltops of Utah the bright and ra
diant star of absolute obedience to the
anointed servants of God.

To tho Editor of The Tribune:
There are people In Utah and elsewhere
who would like to dictato to tho Latter
day Saints what their religion shall con
sist of. . . Thoy dcmar.d that tho "Mor
mon" faith shall bo entirely- spiritual.
That it shall be divested of all temporali
ties. That Its preachers and authorities
shall limit their functlona to erf' 's for
"the saving of souls." In other ords,
that the Church of Jesus Christ of Lattcr
I day Saints shall be reduced to tho status
of a sect, makingSone moro addition to tho
number of conflicting denominations, a
more singing, praying, preaching society.
Deaeret News. October 16.
Tho foregoing carries between the lines
the distinct llavor of a "dlvlno" utterance.
In the peculiar 3tylo of tho chief high
priest The oracle contains both a threat
and a defiance, and is a distinct announce
ment that the promises of political non
interference mado to obtain Statehood are
abrocated.
Never Sought to Dictate.
There are no people in Utah, nor at any
timo in tho past havo there been, who
havo sought to dictato what tho Mormon
religion should consist of beyond the two
conditions of polygamous cohabitation and
dominant Interference in purely political
affairs, if It bo granted that tho high of
ficers of the church have really abandoned
the polygamous condition as an institu
tion, tho foregoing announcement can
have no other bearing than tho one that
the mission of the Latter-day saints Is
political, as that Is tho only condition
witli which tho non-Mormon population
has oxpressed any concern.
No one will object, or has objected to
an exercise of church authority in tem
poral affairs so long as the results affect
only Mormons who have to subscribe to
It. But the exercise of temporal authority
not only affects all those who are not
Mormons Individually, but strikes at tho
very' root of American institutions, whon
cver it is directed to tho control of tho
franchlso of the masses constltuUng Its
church membership.
That this Is exactly what Is intended In
tho Machlavclian oracle Is apparont to
all who havo observed tho use tho church
authorities have made of tholr power of
control namely, to concentrate the ole
monts of power nnd of wealth into its own
hands, and for tho private benefit of tho
first presidency and npostlcs, who consti
tute a self-creative and Irresponsible board
a royal family by succession and de
scent Concentrated Temporal Power.
The president of tho Mormon church Is
also president of olxtecn lending financial
and money-making corporations, and tho
opostles and leading Mormons, who havo
.u.....v.Uv., k.ik oi spiritual ainj
temporal power among themselves havo
grown wealthy through the Influence thov
have- exerted upon tho religious fervor of
tne Mormon masses, who have steadily
been growing poorer through tho enor
mous taxation levied by these church au
thorities. It will be useless for President Smith to
ndvlso his people not to sell their llttlo
farms to their "enemies," while they aro
confronted with cxhnuated acres. State
county, school township taxes plus 10 nor
cent upen their gross Incomes to an Insti
tution that takes it without compensation
and gives nothing In return, except ad
vice Farms Offerod for Sale.
Let any Gentile go into any of the val
leys In Utah except those Immediate to
Salt Lake City and Ogden. where Gentllo
capital and Gentllo energy has afforded
lnrgor opportunities, and attompt to pur
chase a farm. Ho will havo SO per cent of
the farms' offered him at prices that con
sUtuto thorn real bargains. Tho anxloty to
sell Is persistent and Intense, and nono ap
pear to buy except Gentiles.
Such a medieval system of taxation
would overload nnd ruin any industry sur
rounded with modern conditions.
It Is not surprising that tho present gen
eration of Mormons Is becoming restless
and eyeing with askance tho proposition
that would hold them a peculiar people in
Isolation from tho currents of American
thought and civilization, while the Insti
tution at the heftd, claiming- oxlslonco
through dlvlno right, waxos fat on itB
tithing and confronts its people with direct
antagonism with the spirit of Aanorlcan
Institutions.
